Where do I find the size of my Hard Drive in the MacBook

I can't believe it, but I am unable to find the size of my built-in hard drive on the MacBookPro; I tried in Apple>About this Mac>More Info.. but cannot find the required info.
Help please. Thanks. Cheers, Veit

Open finder and look for Macintosh HD on the left sidebar. Control click it and then select "get info" Capacity and Available are listed there.
Cheers,

  • Where can I find an Apple certified internal hard drive?

    I have a December 2006 MacBook Pro that I upgraded RAM and hard drives (twice) from OWC. After having Apple replace the display and the motherboard (again twice) I've been having boot problems. My local Genius Bar told me to replace the RAM with my original RAM and see if it solves the problem.
    Well, it seems to solve it, but my internal HD shows up as "Failing" in disk utility. I cleaned off my original 120GB HD and installed the OS (Snow Leopard) and whenever it's plugged into firewire, the system will boot automatically to it rather than the internal drive.
    There's an Apple logo on the original drive, so there's something about it that the Mac likes. There seems to be something to the "official" Apple hardware deal.
    My problem is that the Apple Store doesn't seem to sell either internal drives for notebooks or memory for MacBook Pros as old as mine.
    I can take it back to the Genius Bar to find out if they can sell me the right stuff without having to install it themselves, but I'd much rather do it myself, so I don't have to let go of my computer, which I use every day.
    Any thoughts? Apparently I can't trust the hardware that OWC sells. Does this make any sense?

    But if you want to spend less ..... OWC have a great selection and are very Mac Friendly

  • How to I find a compatible, more powerful hard drive for my macbook 13 inch late 2008?

    How to I find a compatible, more powerful hard drive for my macbook 13 inch late 2008?

    There are many sources for compatible 2.5" laptop SATA interface hard drives and SSD's.
    I've used Other World Computing (www.macsales.com) for a number of upgrades, and highly recommend them if you're in the US. OWC also posts helpful videos on YouTube showing step by step removal and installation instructions and the tools required for most Mac models. If your old drive is still functioning, but you're simply running out of space, you might also consider purchasing an upgrade kit that includes an external 2.5" drive enclosure with USB interface. Then you first install the new drive in the external enclosure and 'clone' the contents of old drive to it, then swap the old drive for the new one, and use the old drive in the external enclosure as a backup drive, to test new software and OS upgrades, or to store video, photos, and audio.

  • How do I change the name of my hard drive which the photos and libraries are located on without having to relink and recreate folders for photos?

    When I have tried to change the name of my hard drive which my photos and catalog are stored on, when I try and access the new catalog in the new destination yet still same physical hard drive it unlinks all the photos and the folder structure.
    Any way to keep the photos or at least the year folders so as to more easily relink?

    In the Library module, in the Folders tab on the left, do a right-click "show parent" until you can see the root of the drive.
    From there, if you cannot rename the drive from there, then rename it in the OS finder/explorer. Then you just need to reconnect that one root directory or drive entry and Lightroom will do all the work for you.

  • My old computer died. I removed the hard drive and converted it to an external hard drive. I want to get the bookmarks from that hard drive onto the new hard drive. I have Firefox 3.6.1 right now. Where do I find the bookmarks on the old hard drive?

    If I had to I could go to Internet Explorer Favorites on the old hard drive and find that file and bring those over to the new computer and into Firefox but those are outdated. Where would the favorites for Internet Explorer be found if you can't tell me where to find the Firefox Bookmarks file. I'd much prefer to find the Firefox Bookmarks, though.

  • Remote access the airport extreme usb hard drive over the internet with multiple users?

    I just purchase the new airport extreme 802.11n and set it up on my LAN behind a comcast modem with broadband.  I plugged a 3 tb Seagate hard drive formatted with fat32 (default) to it and have set it up for access for all of my computers, ipad, iphone, android in my house.  Everything works as expected, internet access, file access to the USB HD on all devices locally through back to my mac.  I would now like to allow my daughters in another state to access this drive through the Airport Extreme remotely from their location and have there own accounts on this hard drive to store and move their files for on the go access.  I have studied many of the forums and have enabled share disks over WAN, Enable file sharing but no body really gives an exact method of connecting remotely.  I had one of my daughters try on her Macbook Pro laptop through the finder, connect to server, by giving her the IP address.  She could see the name of the Airport Extreme but could not access the hard disk and got a "Not able to connect message".  I am obviously missing something simple that needs to be checked or setup but have drained my brain trying to figure it out.  Most of the forums describe clicking manuel setup on the Airport utility, but with version 6.1 this is now where to be found.  I have a DYN account but could not figure out where to input this in the Airport utility.
    There is a network option which has DHCP lease and range and a box for Enable NAT port Mapping Protocal with Enable default host at:
    I am guessing that this is for some other purpose though.  Please help

    Try installing AirPort Utility 5, then you may be able to follow the guides you mentioned earlier:

  • I want to replace the hard drive on my IMac but want to know how to transfer from the time machine external hard drive to the replacement drive?

    I have reached capacity on my IMac hard drive.   It is a 250 GB drive.   I have an external drive backing up using the time machine utility.  My question is once I replace the HD on the IMac, how do I load the new drive with the back up from the external drive?

    So many possibilities.
    I am not an expert, but I have learned this much is doable:
    Buy an external enclosure to re-use you old drive.
    Buy a new external drive at least as large as as your intended new internal drive.  Make it self-powered.
    Download CarbonCopyClone (free download, relatively small).
    Make a CCC clone of the original disk on the new external disk
    Install the original disk in the external enclosure.
    Install the new disk in the main system.
    Boot from that new external drive that has the carbon copy clone.  CCC will be installed on it and it will be bootable.
    Use CCC on the external to directly clone back to new drive you install in the main system (the "bootable" flag will copy).
    NOTE THAT AT NO TIME IS YOUR ORIGINAL DISK BEING OVERWRITTEN IN THIS PROCESS.  YOU CAN ALWAYS GO BACK AND REINSTALL IT.
    Step 1 makes your old disk resuable as a spare copy for "anything".
    Step 2 gives you something to use as CCC for after the recovery process.
    Step 3 gets the software needed for cloning
    Step 4 makes a bootable saved copy of your current system
    Step 5 shifts your old disk to a usable place
    Step 6 positions your new disk
    Step 7 boots your existing install of OSX (just from a different drive)
    Step 8 puts your original install on your new disk.
    Now you have a bootable larger hard drive, and a bootable copy on a drive large enough to save all you can store on your new internal drive.  And you have your old disk to use for "anything".
    Now you have TM backup in one place, and CCC backup in another.
    Two backups is better than one, and one of your backups is bootable in case of system failure.

  • I am selling my broken Macbook for parts, how can I erase my old hard drive without the computer working?

    I destroyed my Macbook in a car accident and have found somebody to buy it for parts. To be safe I want to make sure the Hard Drive is void of all personal information before I hand it over. What are my options?

    they do sell them at best buy.  I just went to the best buy website and searched for "external enclosure".  Make sure it is 2.5" as that is the size of laptop hard drives, not 3.5" as that is to hold desktop hard drives.

  • I have replaced my faulty hard drive on my macbook air 1.1 and need to reinstall the original software where can in find this on the apple web site?

    I have replaced my faulty hard drive on my macbook air 1.1 with a new ssd, I need to reinstall the original software,where can I find this on the apple site?

    There is no download for the software.  The factory software that you are looking for is called ilife.  It is all of the software that would have came preinstalled with your mac on your original hard drive when you first bought it.  You will have to get new software on your computer.  This might actually be a great opurtunity to upgrade to Lions.  Search the Lions software in the mac store and it will come up.  Click add to cart and check out.  The price for it is $20.  I defientely recomend Lions, it has alot of new great features.  Then wate for the install disk to come in the mail.  when it come just pop it in and follow the step by step instructions.  If you dont want to upgrade to lions however you can download the ilife package from apple.com for a small price.  Hope this helps.
